Maldives - The enchanted Isles

Whether one stays at Christina Ong’s heavenly Cocoa Island with its Shumbhala Retreat and 33 Dhonis (house/fishing boats), where one can experience “over water” suites, or at Soneva Gili, the first villa resort in the Maldives, or the more down-to-earth and traditional Soneva Fushi, one will always be hugely impressed by the imaginative use of space and materials and the impeccable standards of accommodation, service and cuisine. Dhoni Mighili is a little spot-of-paradise island that can be privately reserved. Apart from their 6 gorgeous beach bungalows, they come complete with their own 65 foot dhoni. The order of the day is complete relaxation – you can dine at any time and anywhere – order your own personal favourites or something the chef recommends. This truly is sybaritic bliss! Huvafen Fushi is Dhoni Mighili’s sister hotel, bringing the bedroom to the sea. The accommodation is either stylish cottages dotted along the beach or ocean pavilions set out over the sea – with underwater glass spa treatment rooms! The Four Seasons is also excellent and has the Four Seasons Explorer, possibly the world’s most luxurious diving boat with twelve cabins. Then there is the Banyan Tree which is absolutely gorgeous and comprises just a handful of suites dotted around the island (and some of the finest spa facilities available). The Maldives are renowned for the coral reefs and unparalleled scuba diving and as ever, we will tailor a stay on the islands to suit your individual taste.
